Pony Up Legends! AORC Championship and two new support classes confirmed

Motorcycling Australia is today announcing the full class list for the 2023 Yamaha Australian Off Road Championship presented by MXstore. This season promises to be one of the most exciting yet and will see the introduction of two new classes to add to the already impressive line-up; the Pony Express and Legends.
 
The Pony Express class is all about teaming up with your friends and combining your times to compete against other teams. The winners will be the team with the most laps and the shortest time. This class is sure to bring a new level of excitement and camaraderie to the AORC and will feature at all rounds of the championship.
 
The Legends class is for older masters of the sport who still want to race and show what they are capable of. This class is open to riders 50 years and older and will provide a platform for these experienced riders to showcase their skills, compete against their peers and also providing the opportunity for untold lies post-event…
 
Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle, said “We are excited to launch the 2023 AORC and the addition of the Pony Express and Legends classes to the line-up. These new classes will bring a fresh dynamic to the championship and we can’t wait to see how they will play out on the track. We look forward to a great season of off-road racing and wish all the riders the best of luck.”
